Other Comments: A. calliurum is a typical top spawner that would prefer laying at the top of the tank in floating vegetation or spawning mops. The egg hatch after 10-30 days, the fry could be fed by newly hatched brine shrimp or microworm. This is one of the easiest species to spawn and ideal for the newcomer to Killies.
